I think it's Turkish Veronica, Veronica liwanensis. I have that plant in various places and it's really a nice one! It spreads nicely and you can't beat that pretty blue color.

Grace Ward Lithodora, perhaps?
I just bought one for my rock garden.
Here is a pic from an online source:

Definitely a veronica. I'm not familiar with Turkish veronica, though maybe I should be. I've been growing Georgia Blue for years, and consider it a must-have plant. The picture looks enough like a stockier, sturdier version of that plant to be a close relative, but not the right ID.

Veronica, probably Georgia Blue.

I can't see the leaves in details, but Omphalodes verna looks very similar, but is 10 times bluer.
